Just heard it on the local station here in Houston. 790 sports animal (Eapn radio) that the browns and the Texans are in negotiations for D. Carr. They didn't discuss particulars but it was rumored. Sorry no link I'll try to find one if it's on ink.

As far as the draft, RB Adrian Peterson appears to be the favorite for the team's pick at No. 3 should they stay put. That being said, rumors are running rampant that the Houston Texans are interested in moving up the draft board for a shot at Peterson and could propose a trade to the Browns that would send starting QB David Carr and draft picks to Cleveland for the No. 3 position.
 
This is something I found on the Orange and Brown report that has something to do w/ this topic. It was John Taylor's Free Agent article at the top of the page.

"The Browns will “monitor” the ongoing Jake Plummer situation in Denver, but sources expect the Broncos’ asking price for the veteran quarterback to be too high for the Browns to even remotely consider. And, speaking of potential free-agent/trade-bait QBs, league sources indicate that the Browns will have little or no interest in the Texans David Carr if/when he becomes available."

This would be a good move for Cleveland. If they can trade for Carr and sign him to an extension, it will ensure that they'll suck for at least 4-5 more years.

After all the backlash from blowing the

1st pick last season, I think the Texans

will move up and draft Adrian Peterson

this year.

It doesn't really matter what Houston does. They're gonna suck. That team should be either eliminated or forced to change ownership at the very least. They're just dumb. :banned:
 
Disregarding the question as to whether Carr is worth it or not, who could Cleveland be targeting at 8? Gaines, Okoye, Brown? :banned:

I think they would be targeting Branch, possibly Brown.
I would say Brown, they just need help on the o-line.I actually think this is a good trade for both teams and I think Carr will be good.He is still way to young to give up on.

Whether it is a good trade or not, Carr has way more "potential" than Frye. I'm a browns fan and wanted to root for Frye in the hardest way, but he simply isn't the answer... Brownies need serious help on both offensive and defensive lines, so either Branch/Brown would make sense.
 
If I'm Cleveland and I think OL is my biggest need and I know I'm going to miss on Thomas, why not trade now some to get Brown and also get a QB?

 
So are they saying the trade would be Carr and the #8 for the Browns 1st round pick?

How does that work on the ‘draft pick scale’?

 
Wow, so would Carr preclude the Browns from taking Quinn?

After the Texans were convinced he was the guy, so they passed on Young, one would think a team would learn its lesson.

The Browns are supposed to learn the Texans' lesson? Since when Brady Quinn = Vince Young?The Brown could not be considering Brady Quinn at all.
 
As much as I have ragged on David Carr on this board, the Browns could only be so lucky as to get Carr, a 1st, and a 2nd for the #3 pick.

 
That's dumb for the Texans. You need that high 2nd rounder in the worst way.I'd rather have the 1.8, 2.8 and David Carr (even if I'm going to cut him) than the 1.3 alone.
I was trying to figure out earlier what it would take for the Viking to move up to #3 for Calvin Johnson. They would have to give up their entire first day picks. Childress could go up to the podium and say "Vikings pick Calvin Johnson. See you guys tomorrow" :confused:

At least that would save me the horror of seeing them trade up for a 1-AA prospect/project again.
 
Rumor says Carr and draft picks:

http://www.ourlads.com/nfldraftvalue.cfm

Brown’s

3rd pick = 2,200

Texan’s

8th pick = 1,400

2.08 = 40th = 500

David Carr = 300

:lmao: Especially when you consider other reports about what the Texas are looking for.

Apparently, Houston quarterback David Carr can be had for a price. Texans General Manager Rick Smith told the Houston Chronicle that a couple of teams have inquired about Carr's availability. The Texans are hoping to get a third-round pick that could escalate to a second-round pick.
http://www.nola.com/saints/t-p/index.ssf?/...&thispage=2

Rumors persist that the Vikings could trade with the Houston Texans for quarterback David Carr, 27, who might cost just a fourth-round draft pick.
http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/16693302.htmIf these reports are anywhere close to accurate and the Texans only want a mid-level pick for Carr, it is quite unlikely that the Browns are so out of touch with the market on Carr that they would consider giving all that up.

If the Titans can get two CBs and a DE in Free Agency, I'd gladly give up all 9 picks for Calvin Johnson.

Very possible, and if so, fine. And if they would rather have Peterson than Quinn, I can understand that as well.But is David Carr enough to take you out of the race for Peterson, Quinn, and Johnson? Yeeesh, I don't think so. If I was a Browns fan, and had Frye and Droughns, and the number 3 pick, I'd want one of those three.

No way the Browns take a QB in the 1st round.Crennel is on his last shot and if they take a QB, they may as well cut Crennel loose now.

I was thinking aobut that as well, but Crennel doesn't have final say on personnel, correct?

Agree. Getting Carr, then getting Branch at the 1.08, then using the 2.03 on O-line (like Kalil) and the 2.08 again on O-line (like Ugoh, Staley, or even Blalock if he slips) would be a draft day A+ for the Browns IMO.
 
Maybe Marshawn Lynch is not a huge drop off from AD in the Browns eyes? Maybe the slide down for picks, see what's on the board, and possibly trade down again for more picks? Probably just a rumor but this trade seems to make some sense?

This trade makes a ton of sense for Cleveland. As you pointed out, Lynch may still be available. Also, there will likely be an excellent DE (Anderson or Adams), an excellent DT/NT (Branch, Okoye), an excellent safety (Landry), an excellent CB (Hall) and a top grade RB (Lynch). I'm not sure it makes much sense for Houston though.

Carr = 300 was just a guess. It's just wild speculation anyways - so change it anyway you like.
 
If the Texans do indeed make that trade, I'll be more convinced than ever that there are at least a dozen guys in the Shark Pool that could run NFL franchises and run them better than some of the current clowns.

 
Question is...who would the Texans be moving up for? They would have to have a specific target in mind who won't be there at #8.
Are you thinking? Johnson & Johnson. CBs are sweating bullets just thinking about it.
I'm thinking it's Peterson, to appease last year's Bush fiasco.
This is the second time this has been mentioned.Does anyone actually believe that the Texans are going to trade UP to grab AD as some kind of way to rectify last year's draft pick? I think that's rather ridiculous. Despite the opinion on this board (mine included) and the talking heads, you can't even be sure if the Texans internally think that they made a mistake - I don't think they thought Bush wasn't going to be a very good player, I think they decided that having a dominating pass rusher was more important than a game-breaking RB. Taking a long view of Mario Williams, he COULD still be that. Anyway, the concept of them trying to make up for last year's pick by trading away early picks this year to move up to get an entirely different RB is a lapse in logic, IMO. I don't think that factors into their decision-making process one bit,

The Browns are all over the place right now on trying to read. Just a few weeks ago they were letting slip comments that they were interested in either Russell OR Quinn. Last week they seemed to be stating they wanted Peterson.They need to fix that offensive line though, that's their main problem. Fix that and Frye and Droughns will look a heck of a lot better.
 
This makes as much sense as a snot rocket in the shower IMO.Carr would just be the next QB to get killed in Cleveland. Carr is already a little shell shocked.Why not trade down get Brown and draft Quinn.Then you can let Frye get killed for another season and bring Quinn in slowly like the Bengals did Palmer.If you going to pass on Peterson then, I think this would be a decent direction.
I don't know how they will draft both Brown and Quinn. :sadbanana:
